#2023 big bang

[olives-and-lilies]

So! I had the absolute delight to take part in the @codywanbigbang these last few months.

@catboydogma created a darkly stunning hanahaki series called Heavy Off a Golden Hue that has such rich visuals…

I had a bit of a hard time choosing scenes really…

But here we go!

The Delightful Spotify Playlist they made to accompany it is a must

And again, Heavy Off a Golden Hue by @catboydogma part two: In The Blackness

This piece was more thematic than anything, but I just adored Cody carrying little cough drops for Obi.

“I’m not trying to hurt you or anything, I promise!”

Shit. His scent is wafting through the air, washing over Tobio. The smell of his blood. Fresh, vibrant, alive. His eyes snap shut as he takes a moment, breaking in through his mouth. His canines ache with the urge to sink his teeth into that supple flesh and —

“Go away!” he snaps desperately.

At that moment, a car passes by near the mouth of the alley, and the yellow of its headlights spills over them both. Tobio watches the backlit figure of the young man freeze — his big eyes widen with realization, mouth falling open in shock. The fingers wrapped around the knife handle tense and shake. Tobio can hear his heartbeat stutter as it starts to race. Hell, he can smell the cold sweat, the fear that rolls off of him.

Delicious, some dark, horrible part of his brain comments, and a wince spills unbidden from his mouth. He realizes that, to this man — looking pallid and feral, with red eyes and blood-smeared teeth — he is completely indistinguishable from the monster he’s been desperately trying not to be. It makes him feel sick all over again. ---

Returning to you from the shadows with my amazing collab project for @kagehinabigbang I did together with @zapshroom and Maeve (popcornpearl on AO3 and twitter)! These intriguing artworks are accompanied by an even more intriguing story - my vampire era is here in full force!🧛‍♂️ Read the story here: |Fall like Sunlight on my Soul A big thank you once again to my team, this was such a fun process and I'm so proud of what we developed together!

Tis the day! Here is my piece for this year's @bumblebybigbang. I had the absolute pleasure of working with @bazaarwords. I could not have asked for a better partner! She wrote such a fun, hilarious, feel good college AU for the bees that I thoroughly enjoyed seeing come to life over the past few months. (Honestly I don't think I read any part of this without laughing or giggling like a schoolgirl) Please go check out her fic, Unbecoming. You definitely won't regret it!

“Okay,” he says, nodding. “Okay,” Eddie echoes. Steve can’t keep in the noise of surprise he makes when Eddie’s hands shift to hold both of his own. “You know what I remember about you?” He shakes his head, following Eddie’s hands.  “You were on the swim team, huh? You did all that lifeguard shit too, didn’t you?” He waits for Steve to nod before he continues. “I know it might be hard to find it. All that’s gotta be real loud, yeah? But it’s right here, see?” He finds Eddie’s pressed his fingers to the pulse points on his wrists. And Eddie’s right. It’s hard to feel it, but he finds it there.  “Oh,” Steve says. He can’t find other words. Eddie told him to find this. He feels it. It starts out heavy, a little frantic.  But then Steve focuses, and Eddie’s heartbeat reaches out for his ears, steady. It sounds a lot like Rumours always did, gentler than all the rest.
